“…Of these 442 proteins, 102 ( t ‐test <0·05) and 20 (B‐H adjusted t ‐test P < 0·05) proteins were differentially expressed between the two patient groups (all 102 are listed in Table SII) (Fig ). Sixty‐five proteins were overexpressed in the REF/REL group and several of these proteins (Elongation factor 1‐beta, 14‐3‐3 protein gamma, nucleophosmin 1, RAP1B, Heat shock protein 60 and IMP dehydrogenase 2) have previously been described as negative prognostic factors or involved in drug resistance in other malignancies (De Bortoli et al , ; Li et al , ; Raungrut et al , ; Zhou et al , ; Yang et al , ; Sawazaki et al , ). Two proteins overexpressed in the REF/REL group have been reported as a negative prognostic marker or associated with multidrug resistance in DLBCL: Y‐box protein 1 (Miao et al , ) and pontin/RuvBL1 protein (Nishiu et al , ).…”
